Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise

Chapter 384

If Adam hadn’t gone to Nocalo back then, if he had valued Lumma enough, they wouldn’t be in this situation now. Lumma was within arm’s reach, right there for him to embrace, yet he couldn’t hold her in his arms.

“Adam, Adam…” Judy’s urgent call snapped Adam back to reality from his reverie. “It’s almost midnight back home, and you haven’t given us any gifts yet.”

She excitedly waved the gift box in her hand. “Adam, Laura has already given us gifts. As the leader of Hills Group, you should also give us gifts.”

Adam indeed hadn’t prepared anything. In previous years, he was either working or spending the holiday with Catherine. Celebrating with Catherine meant she took care of preparing gifts for their younger relatives.

He glanced at everyone, his gaze finally falling on Lumma. She had also received Laura’s gift, a look of joy on her face.

A single gift could make Lumma happy, and of course, he wanted to make her even happier. But he regretfully said, “I haven’t prepared anything.”

“I knew you hadn’t prepared, so I did it for you.” Judy took out a few gift bags from her bag. The gift bags are ready for you. Don’t tell me you don’t have any cash on you.”

“Just wait a moment.” Adam stood up and walked elegantly upstairs. When he came back downstairs, the gift bags in his hands were no longer empty. They visibly bulged with contents.

Judy was the first to rush forward. “Adam, Merry Christmas! I wish you and your wife a sweet and blissful life, and I hope you’ll give me a nephew or niece soon.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Adam playfully tapped her head with a gift bag. Adam playfully tapped her head with a gift bag. “That’s up to her. Let’s not joke about these things.”

Judy snatched the gift bag and looked at Adam meaningfully, giving him a thorough glance. “Adam, whether to have children is indeed your business as a couple. However, there are some matters you can’t keep to yourself. It’s better to have an open conversation with her sooner rather than later.”

“Mind your own business.” Adam assumed that Judy was only suggesting that he should be honest with Lumma about his background. He had no idea that Judy’s thoughts were completely different.

Adam handed out the gift bags to Leonard, Laura, and the others one by one. The recipients of the gift bags were all delighted. “Thank you, Mr. Hills! Wishing Hills Group continued success under your leadership!”

Adam nodded his head and finally handed the last and largest gift bag to Lumma with great care. “Lumma, I hope all your wishes come true!”

“Thank you, Mr. Hills!” Lumma gratefully accepted the gift bag, holding it tightly with a wide smile adorning her rosy cheeks. “I also wish you all the best! May your marriage be filled with love and harmony, and may your love endure for eternity!”

Adam gently replied, “We will.”

Lumma clutched the gift bag tightly, unwilling to let it go. It felt weighty, and she was eager to open it immediately. However, she felt a twinge of shyness and decided to set the gift box aside for the moment, planning to open it later in her room

After all the gifts were distributed, everyone continued eating barbecue and watching the evening show.

The show wasn’t particularly captivating, and by the end of it, there were only a few memorable performances.

Despite the show’s lack of excitement, it had become an annual tradition that everyone adhered to. Gathering around for a Christmas dinner seemed to capture the true essence of the holiday.
